Ghoṭamukha Sutta

Sutta

仏陀の死後、比丘ウデーナがバラモンのゴータムカに、自分自身を苦しめる者、他者を苦しめる者、両方を苦しめる者、どちらも苦しめない者という四種の苦行者について語る対話を記した経典で、渇愛を超えて生きる最後の者を、ゴータムカが真に正しい沙門であると認める。

Records a conversation between Udena Thera and Ghoṭamukha at Khemiyambavana, after the Buddha’s death. Ghoṭamukha maintains that there is a recluse who might be called righteous (dhammiko paribbājo). Does Udena know of him? Udena describes to him the four types of individuals — those who torture themselves, those who torture others, those who torture both and those who torture neither, the last being those who live beyond appetites, consummate, unfevered and blissful. They want none of the things after which men hanker, but discarding them all go forth to homelessness. Ghoṭamukha admits that such are righteous recluses. M.ii.157 ff.
